Some songs lose their meaning when censored, tho. Cee Lo Green's Fuck You! is the one that comes to my mind.

but she ain't messin' with no broke broke
 
I don't think this has been mentioned anywhere, but the 2013 inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced a while back. The inductees:

-Heart
-Albert King
-Randy Newman
-Public Enemy
-Rush
-Donna Summer
-Lou Adler
-Quincy Jones
 
As much as I love Public Enemy, they're a hip hop group not a rock group. Or are they basing this on their collaboration with Anthrax?
 
Eh, I don't know. Not the first time they've inducted a hip-hop group, though.

That, basically. But hey, I can't complain too much, as they inducted Rush, one of my favorite bands.
 
Yeah, I'm happy about Rush's induction, along with Heart's. A bit bummed that Deep Purple didn't make the cut, though.

I think cussing is stupid. Nicki Minaj over-uses it, and either way her songs suck (IMO).

What a simplistic perspective to have.

While I agree with you on Nicki Minaj, cursing is not always stupid, but only a few can curse in an intelligent way.

Which honestly, not many modern artists today, if any at all, can curse "intelligently".

Not entirely, but the majority of the stuff I listen to is 60s, 70s, and 80s. I do listen to some post-'98 stuff, but not all the time.
 
I do think that autotune can and has been used well, and by talented artists, but that's a debate for another day- for the most part that article absolutely dead-on. Twenty years from now, when people think of music from the 2000s, they'll think Queens of the Stone Age, Arcade Fire, Gorillaz, Daft Punk, etc.
 
I agree.
Yes, I really dislike the idiots at school who only like a song if it has been released within the last year or is on the charts. I also hate it when people think anything released after 2000 is horrible. I mean, some of my favorite artists/bands are from/most popular in the 2000's (Gorillaz and White Stripes are the main ones and my favorite Red hot chilli peppers album- Stadium Arcadium, was released in 2006)
